Liz and Ariffin Engagement Session

God bless a good friend. Especially if that friends knows a good man when she sees one.

Liz' good friend introduced her to Ariffin...who told an off colored joke, right off the bat! Liz was not impressed, and were it not for her friend insisting, "no really, he's a good guy!" she would never have given him a second chance.

Years later, that second chance turned into love.

Now they are getting married!

The Amazing Kirsch Family

The Texas Summer heat had been high, and the hot wind was still blowing when we got to the nature preserve. But we were prepared with our water bottles and cool clothing! And, fortunate for us, it did start to cool off as we set up and started the shoot. This was the first time I had met the Kirsch family, and as we went from shot to shot I began to realize the Kirschs where my favorite sort of people! So tight nit, polite, helpful, and happy! Even the little guys didn't get grumpy in the heat. That may have something to do with the promised ice cream afterwards :).

Brooks and Angela, your family is the sweetest!

This gal was a hoot! So precocious and energetic

Family Preview!

Last week, I had the wonderful privilage doing the family portraits for the Kirsch family. They are such a sweet and happy family! Posting more soon :)

Fresh from the Farm

My dad has put together some delicious fresh from the farm baskets with a mix of fresh veggies, cage free eggs, and home grown beef. A whole basket with all the goodies is $35 and includes roughly 3 lbs of veggies, 3 lbs of meat and 1 dozen eggs.

If interested, just let me know!

Yes, yes that is a green egg. My favorite, but not included in every basket.

Sean and Blessy

Blessy was new to Dallas; she didn't know anyone. So, a family friend invited her to a party in hopes of introducing her to some new friends. Little did she know that this gorgeous girl would enchant Sean at first sight.

Blessy thought he seemed nice, but didn't understand why he kept hanging around until that Sunday, Sean found her at church and gave her his number saying to call him anytime. The next Sunday, he found her again and reminded her that she could call him anytime she wanted. He did that the next Sunday, and the Sunday after that, and the Sunday after that until one day she finally called him.

And the love blossomed!

Four years later, they announced their engagement: ready to start their happily ever after.

Such a beautiful ceremony...

...and exquisit reception!

Thanks again Blessy and Sean for making me a part of your wedding. It was a great pleasure!
